Dallas Fire-Rescue responded to a two-alarm fire at an apartment complex in northeast Dallas on Thursday afternoon that displaced seven people.

Firefighters got a call at 4:17 p.m. of smoke coming from the two-story Park Lane Place Condominiums in the 8500 block of Park Lane near Ridgecrest Road. The fire had reached the attic space. Fire fighters managed to extinguish the fire at around 6 p.m., but two units were damaged.

The fire was accidentally started in a ground floor unit because of improperly discarded “smoking materials,” said spokesman Jason Evans. It spread quickly, causing fire damage throughout the apartment and to a unit next door.

No one was injured. The American Red Cross has been called to the scene to help.
